RELATIVE to what?
Frame of reference, there isn't absolute rest.

You're right, but I think it's the second postulate. I could have sworn that frame of reference affected light speed measurement in space.

9 foot long garage, 9 foot ceiling, park a 12 foot car in there, all 4 tires must be firmly resting on solid object under the cars weight.

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

Better yet, 9x9x9 garage, what is the longest 2"x2" single piece of lumber you can fit in there?
about 15 and a half feet...---- decimals (plus it might be off since a 2x2 cant fit right into the corner and im not spending more time thinking about it)

I put my blender on the light, speed setting...
Dose that mean my milk shakes go back in time?
